Watercolours
In 2020 when we were put into Covid lockdown, I set myself a challenge to learn how to paint with watercolours. These are some of my favourite works.
Mixed Media
This category covers a variety of different things, from simple collage to a mix of collage, paint, stencils, gelli-printing, added fabrics and natural found objects. I love pressing flowers and leaves and then adding these.
Hand Made Books
There is nothing more satisfying than producing a hand made book and I have made several over the last few years, as well as customising an existing book or pamphlet by adding gesso to the pages before working on them.
Inspirations from Nature
These 15 x 15 cm pieces on watercolour paper were inspired some Youtube videos I saw by Lizbeth Degn. They employ a variety of techniques - collage with painted, printed and stencilled papers, cyanotypes, washi papers, bits of fabric, hand stitch and plant material.Â
